What a lot of people are not realizing is that pistol grips, specifically those that can be swapped for other designs, are great for people with arthritis, tendonitis, tennis elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome, and even shoulder issues: it changes the grip angle and recoil distribution, something customizable by changing the grip.

I have to modify what CLW.45 says to : "Black" rifles and shotguns add inclusiveness and are more suitable for those with disabilities & health issues, minor or otherwise. Prohibiting these for use by those with disabilities is discrimination.

I find a pistol grip is the best angle to manage the recoil of any cartridge, especially shotguns.

The SKS doesn't have much recoil, but that wrist angle is terrible.

I'd put a pistol grip on practically everything I could, shy of a lever because it would ruin the look.

All my “work horse” hunting guns have pistol grips. On a sunny afternoon hunt, I’ll take just about anything out of the safe, but if I’m out for a full day in the snow and rain, I love my work horses.

Ine of the biggest benefits is not shooting them, but carrying them. I’m tall enough that carry them by the pistol grip and still have a foot of clearance between the muzzle and the ground. Another method of “ready” carrying makes a huge difference on the shoulder muscles after a week of still hunting.
